Old films experience new times at DVHN. And you can watch them from the couch. DVHN, in collaboration with the Drents Archief, broadcasts a Drenthe archive film every Sunday.
Filmmakers have been making images of Drenthe for a hundred years. Amateurs and professionals. In black and white and later in color. This year the Drents Archief looks back on a century of films in the province. We start in the 20s and end in the 90s.
With today: De Berkenhof shelter in Zuidlaren. It was purchased in 1950 by the Stichting Opbouw Drenthe as a holiday center for tired housewives. During the holiday weeks, the women not only relaxed, but also received tips on how to be better housewives and mothers. These images show the housewives who arrive in De Berkenhof in 1958.
